<quoted text>I state truth & only truth you parishioners are turning a blind eye to reality, the facts are the facts toughen up, wake up & face the music!

YOU do TRULY live up to YOUR name....YOU do not state the truth, as I KNOW the truth, you are only here to stoke the fire..THE TRUTH HAS ALREADY BEEN TOLD. nO FUNDS/MONEY WERE EVER TAKEN FROM OUR PARISH. It is just a 'figment' of your litle 'itty bitty' brain/imagination. Now go play in traffic like a good little man/woman

You all spent months insisting that there was nothing wrong, and that Father LaFache's resignation was purely a matter of poor health. You attacked those who wanted the truth revealed, corruption rooted out, and justice done wherever it was necessary. And now look---a little bit of it has surfaced, and you look like fools at best, liars at worst.

And who believes the District Attorney is doing anything but assisting in a whitewash at this point?

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Syracuse is handling an internal matter concerning the Rev. Anthony LaFache before he retired as pastor of the St. Anthony and St. Agnes Church in Utica last year, officials said Thursday.

Oneida County District Attorney Scott McNamara confirmed that the diocese contacted him earlier this month to state that they were going to internally handle their concerns involving 74-year-old LaFache, instead of referring the matter for criminal prosecution.

While McNamara would not discuss the allegations against LaFache, he did say that he was convinced the diocese was sufficiently handling the issue.

“They’re not asking the DA’s Office to investigate, but they did indicate that they would fully cooperate if I felt differently,” McNamara said.“But I’m satisfied that justice is being served internally and there are no external victims of his actions that would warrant us proceeding to prosecute, and the fact that the church is choosing to handle this internally is fine with me.”

A representative of the diocese could not immediately comment about the internal investigation Thursday.

The diocese first alerted McNamara last year that they were investigating LaFache around the time he announced his resignation and retirement as pastor in early September. The diocese at the time said it would then inform McNamara of the outcome of their investigation.

Although LaFache did step down from St. Anthony and St. Agnes, Danielle Cummings, director of communications at the diocese, said LaFache still had the ability to practice priestly duties but was not currently serving as a pastor anywhere.

A new pastor, the Rev. Mark Kaminski, former director of Christ the King Retreat House in Syracuse, was appointed in November to replace LaFache as pastor of the East Utica church.
